Family Tree Magazine has just announced its list of the 40 Best Genealogy Blogs for 2011 and most, if not all, of those mentioned are members of GeneaBloggers!
Thanks to the Family Tree Magazine staff and the Family Tree 40 Panel for all their hard work in selecting this year’s 40 Best. This was not an easy process which started back in October 2010 when FTM readers were asked to nominate their favorite blogs. Then in November, votes were solicited using the list of nominees in several categories including Everything, Cemetery, Heritage and more.
Here is the complete list of winners – please take a moment to visit their blogs and offer your congratulations!
